Purpose
These Commands and Procedures for IP-based Services apply to the international
version and to the NAR version of the AnyMedia ® Access System. It enhances the
traditional Commands and Procedures with information about IP-based services.
Note that not all features described here, are supported by both system versions.
The Commands and Procedures for the international version of the AnyMedia ® Access
System consist of three parts which are closely related to each other. They are not
considered to be independent information products. For the titles of the three C&Ps,
see table below:

C&P titles for international regions CIC Ordering


Number
Commands and Procedures for Narrowband Services with TDM COMDAC 363-211-119
Commands and Procedures for ATM xDSL services 363-211-133
Commands and Procedures for IP-based services 363-211-555

The Commands and Procedures for the NAR version of the AnyMedia ® Access System
consists of two parts which are closely related to each other. They are not considered
to be independent information products. The conventional Commands and Procedures
(363-211-100) has now been enhanced with a second part, “Commands and Procedures
for IP-based services”.. For the titles of the two C&Ps, see table below:

C&P titles for North America regions (NAR) CIC Ordering


Number
Commands and Procedures 363-211-100

About this information product

Terms used (alphabetically ordered)


The following are terms used in this information product (IP) that may have a different
meaning than the general or common use of the term.
• a/b-cable refer generically to the tip/ring pair cables that attach to the faceplate of
application packs (APs).
• In the AnyMedia ® Access System, the term access means that the system provides
the primary service interface for the subscriber to enter the network.
• The term AnyMedia LAG Shelf is generally used for an AnyMedia shelf with IP
spokes on the backplane, independently of the physical design of the shelf.
In contrast to an AnyMedia ® ETSI V5 Shelf or FAST Shelf the AnyMedia LAG
Shelves are capable to support IP-based services also in controlled mode.
• The term AnyMedia shelves is used whenever the text does not need to distinguish
between the shelf types. It is mostly used where services and service packs are
described.
• The term controlled mode is generally used for a mode, in which the inter-worked
traffic is handled by IP spokes on the shelf backplane which connect the pack to
the IP controller. Therefore this mode requires the usage of a LAG Shelf equipped
with an IP controller. The uplinks on the faceplates of the APs are not usable in
this mode.
Note that the IPFM controlled mode is supported in the LAG Shelves only.
• The term stand-alone mode is generally used for a mode, in which the inter-worked
traffic is handled by the uplinks on the faceplate of the individual AP without using
neither IP spokes on the backplane nor an IP controller. This mode is supported in
all shelf types, but it is not supported by each IP AP type.
A combination of APs in stand-alone mode and of APs in controlled mode is also
allowed within one shelf. But note that every stand-alone pack is a separate NE
from the management perspective, that means it reduces the NAM capacity in
terms of managed shelves correspondingly.
• The term IP controller is a general term for an IP forwarding module (IPFM) or an
ESIM that is used not as an AP but as an IP controller in a LAG 200 Shelf.
Trademarks
Trademarks of Alcatel-Lucent and other companies are in italics. They are identified
with the registered mark ( ®) or trademark (™) symbol the first time the trademarks are
used in the text (for example Alcatel-Lucent AnyMedia ® Access System).

WARNING: Risk of injury due to untrained personnel


Only trained service personnel should perform the procedures in this document.
These procedures allow exposure to high electrical energy and/ or current that
may result in electric shock and/or injury to untrained personnel during servicing,
maintenance, and installation of this system. Do not allow non-service person-
nel to access electrical wiring.
Read and understand all instructions and warning labels.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product and in the manu-
als.

DANGER: Injury to eyes caused by invisible laser radiation.


AnyMedia Access System systems operate with invisible laser radiation. Laser
radiation can cause considerable injuries to the eyes.
Never look into the end of an exposed fibre or pack optical connectors as long as
the optical source is switched on. This applies particularly to the connections of
the optical packs of the WaveStar ADM 4/1, to the OAP in the AnyMedia Main-
shelf, to the OCP in the ONU Subshelf and to the optical link between them.
Always observe the laser warning instructions.

DANGER: Arcing on removing or inserting a live power supply plug or the power
filter unit (PFU).
Arcing can cause burns to the hands and damage to the eyes.
Ensure that the DC circuit-breaker on the fuse panel is in the "OFF" position be-
fore removing or inserting the power supply plug or power filter unit.

CAUTION: Risk of injury, if only one −48 V DC power feeder is disconnected.


The AnyMedia shelf maybe equipped with two −48 V DC input power feeders.
Disconnecting one power feeder will not de-energize the AnyMedia shelf.
Disconnect both power supply cables when removing power from the AnyMedia
shelf.

IMPORTANT: Destruction of packs in the event of a short-circuit.


A short-circuit in the AnyMedia Access System can cause destruction of elec-
tronic components and thus malfunctioning of the complete system.
You must therefore not handle objects such as a screwdriver in the pack area.
Never push objects of any kind into this product through slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or cause a short-circuit.

IMPORTANT: Destruction of components by incorrect handling.


Before replacing a pack, check the identification code to ensure that the proper
pack is being used.

CAUTION: Destruction of LEDs by improper handling of packs


Take care to avoid damaging the LED(s) that protrude through the openings in the
faceplate of the packs during handling and pack installation.
When installing a pack, place your thumbs on the rounded indentations of the
latch to lock the pack in position. Do not use your palm because your hand may
slip and break LEDs that protrude through the openings of the faceplate

Electrostatic discharge considerations


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

General notes on ESD


Electrostatic discharge (ESD), for example caused by touching with the hand, can
destroy semiconductor components. The correct operation of the complete system is
then no longer assured.
All semiconductor components are basically sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
The electrostatic discharge can also affect the components indirectly via contacts or
conductor tracks.
Plug-in units containing components that are especially sensitive to electrostatic
discharge are identified by warning labels bearing the barred-hand symbol.
Warning symbol:

CAUTION
ESD hazard
Warning about devices sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Electronic components can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge.
To avoid electrostatic discharge conductively connected wrist straps connect to the
cabinet ESP bonding point should be used.

The safety instructions for the classes “Danger”, “Warning” and “Caution” always have
a warning symbol, the “Important” and “Notice” safety instructions can, but do not
always have a warning symbol.
This document may contain safety labels such as WARNING, CAUTION,
IMPORTANT, and NOTICE.
Important! Destruction of components by electrostatic discharge.
Electronic components can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge. An electrostatic
discharge wrist strap, with a resistance between 250 kΩ and 1.5 MΩ, should be
worn when handling AnyMedia ® Access System plug-ins to prevent possible
damage to the plug-ins. Before using the wrist strap, check the wrist strap for
shorts, opens, and proper resistance value. Do not use a wrist strap that does not
pass these checks.
Hold plug-in units only at the edges or on the insertion and removal facilities.
Always observe the ESD instructions.

Safety Electrostatic discharge considerations

Precautions
The following list of precautions should be observed when handling circuit packs to
prevent damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD):
• Assume all circuit packs contain solid state electronic components that can be
damaged by ESD.
• Work in an area which is protected against electrostatic discharge. Use conducting
floor and bench mats which are conductively connected to the rack ESD bonding
point.
• Wear conductively connected wrist straps and connect them to the rack ESD
bonding point.
• Handle all circuit packs by the faceplate or latch and by the top and bottom
outermost edges. Never touch the components, conductors, or connector pins.
• Observe warning labels on bags and cartons. Whenever possible, do not remove
circuit packs from antistatic packaging until ready to insert them into slots.
• If possible, open all circuit packs at a static-safe work position, using properly
grounded wrist straps and static-dissipating table mats. If a static-dissipating table
mat is used, be sure that it is clean to ensure a good discharge path.
• Always store and transport circuit packs in static-safe packaging. Shielding is not
required unless specified.
• Ensure that the rack is grounded.
• Keep all static-generating materials such as food wrappers, plastics, and foam
packaging away from all circuit packs. On removal from the shelf, immediately put
circuit packs into static-safe packages.
• Whenever possible, maintain relative humidity above 20 percent.

ESD wrist strap


To reduce the possibility of ESD damage, the shelves and the racks are equipped with
a grounding jack to enable personnel to ground themselves using wrist straps with a
minimum resistance of 250 kΩ while handling circuit packs or working on a
shelf/shelves. The jacks are located on the left and right of the rack and are accessible
from the front. When grounding jacks are not provided, an alligator clip adapter
enables connection to rack’s frame ground (FRMGND).

Laser safety guidelines


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Laser safety
In its normal operating mode, a lightwave system is totally enclosed and presents no
risk of eye injury. It is a Laser Class 1/I product under the IEC schemes.
The Lightguide cables that interconnect various components of a lightwave system can
be disconnected or break, and may expose people to lightwave emission. Also, certain
measures and service procedures may expose the technician to emission from the laser
circuit pack during installation and servicing.
Observe the following instructions to avoid exposing yourself and others to risk:
• Don’t look into the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector as long as the
optical source is still switched on. Even for Class 1 lasers viewing with the unaided
eye at distances greater than 250 mm (≈10 inches) will normally not cause eye
injury.
• Under no circumstances lightwave/lightguide operations shall be performed by a
technician before satisfactorily completing an approved training course. Only
authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to carry out service, maintenance
and restoration activities.
• Read the relevant descriptions in the manuals before taking equipment into
operation or carrying out any installation and maintenance work on the optical
packs, and follow the instructions. Ignoring the instructions can result in exposure
to dangerous radiation.
• If you are not sure that the fiber is connected to a Laser Class I product ensure that
the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.
• Under no circumstances shall any personnel scan a fiber with an optical test set
without verifying that all lightwave sources on the fiber are turned off or that the
test set is specially approved for this test.
• In the event of doubt, check that the optical source is switched off by measuring
with an optical power meter.
Warning symbol:

CAUTION
Components with lasers and fibers
Although, at present, the transmitting power levels for Laser Class 1 are below those
known to cause injury to the eye at distances greater than 250 mm ( ~10 inches) direct
exposure should always be avoided.
Always observe the laser warning instructions (see instructions below)

Safety Laser safety guidelines

Classification of lasers
The laser classes are defined in standards such as EC 60825 (or EN 60825) and its
supplements. A maximum laser radiation is defined for each laser class according to
the wavelength. The maximum laser radiation depends on the type of laser diode used.
This results in different laser classes for the various optical plug-in units.
These standards require manufacturers to classify their laser products as belonging to
one of the major classes, classes 1, 2, 3A, and 3B. Manufacturers of lasers and laser
products in the U.S. are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for
Devices and Radiological Health FDA/CDRH) under 21 CFR 1040. Classification
schemes are similar to the IEC with categories such as class I, II, lla, IlIa or lllb. In
both cases, laser products are classified according to the accessible emission levels and
their potential for causing injury.
Laser classes to IEC 60825 and DIN/EN 60825

Optical transmission systems are identified by yellow laser warning labels on which
only the laser class (see the labels below ) is indicated.
Lightwave systems are generally classified as class 1/I, because, under normal
operating conditions, all energized laser transmitting circuit packs are terminated on
optical fibers which enclose the laser energy with the fiber sheath forming a protective
housing. Also, covers are typically in place over the circuit pack shelves.
The label shown below is used to identify systems belonging to laser class 1 in normal
operation.

Appropriate labels are also available for the remaining laser classes (k x 3A, 3B); each
label indicates the laser class, wavelength and maximum laser radiation. These labels
are affixed in a clearly visible position on the equipment.
The following laser warning symbols can be affixed to the optical packs. The optical
connectors from which laser radiation can be emitted can be identified by a laser
warning symbol near the connector:

Due to lack of space, laser warning labels cannot be affixed to the potential source of
laser radiation, that is, directly to the optical connectors.

Handling fibers
Never look into the end of an exposed fiber or optical connector of a pack as long as
the optical source is switched on. Always observe the laser warning instructions.

Splicing
Cutting and splicing fibers must be followed and performed by trained personnel only.
Read and understand all instructions of the manual of the splicing and cutting
equipment.
After cutting/splicing, every splice has to be checked. Follow the instructions of the
manual of the splicing and cutting equipment.

Routing and connecting


During installation of fibers the optical connectors of fibers must be equipped with a
protective cap until the connectors are coupled.
The fibers should by guided to the optical packs using the special protective spiral
wrap of the pigtail.
If the fiber is routed from bottom to an optical connector take care if the fiber has to
be disconnected so that the fiber will not hang out of the ONU Subshelf and can be
bent or broken.

Safety Laser safety guidelines

Optical cable break


There is a risk to cause micro defects in the fiber or a risk of a cable break if the
bending radius of optical fiber cables is less than about 30 mm. Microdefects can
increase the fiber attenuation and reduce the long term stability. Ensure that the
bending radius is not less than 30 mm.

Cleaning optical connectors and couplings


Cleaning optical connectors is required only if problems have occurred which indicate
that these connectors have an impurity (for example deviation of attenuation values
beyond the permitted maximum).

Checking fiber connectors


Before starting to clean the optical connectors, ensure that the optical source is
switched off. Never look into the end of an exposed fiber or optical connector of a
pack as long as the optical source is switched on. Always observe the laser warning
instructions.
To check for impurities (for example fluff, dust particles, ...), use a microscope with an
enlargement factor of 40, so that the connector face can be inspected.

Checking optical couplers


Visually check the coupling for residual impurities by holding it to the light (the
geometry of the coupling does not allow the coupling to be checked under the
microscope). After cleaning with a pipe cleaner do not connect the optical
connectors/couplings without checking them for impurities.
Use isopropanol for cleaning. Let the connector/coupling face air-dry or use purified
compressed air (the isopropanol must evaporate completely!).

Purpose
Firstly, this chapter provides general information about the system. That includes:
• Important general notes about the system
• Configuration considerations for the different AnyMedia shelf types
• Information about OAM&P connectivity.
Then this chapter provides information about procedures for system turn-up and service
activation.
The procedures that have to be performed for initial system turn-up, depend on the
configuration mode of the IP subsystem (controlled or stand-alone) and on the
controller type (IPFM or ESIM in LAG 200 Shelf). You will find for each of these
turn-up types a flowchart followed by a set of links that points to the applicable
detailed procedure descriptions in the correct sequence.

Overview
This section contains information that is important to know before you begin the
system turn-up. It also includes commonly used procedures that are performed in
different context, for example how to insert or remove a pack. When procedures are
required during other activities, you will automatically be pointed to the procedure
descriptions.

Controlled mode — stand-alone mode


IP-based services are supported in two modes in the AnyMedia ® Access System:
• Controlled mode
• Stand-alone mode
By default, all APs are shipped configured in controlled mode. When required they
have to be provisioned for stand-alone mode during system turn-up.
Controlled mode
In this mode, the inter-worked traffic is handled by IP spokes on the shelf backplane
which connect the pack to the IP controller. The AP configuration is stored on the IP
controller.
Therefore this mode requires the usage of a LAG Shelf equipped with an IP controller
and for some functions (LED test, pack polling or inventory data) a COMDAC as
system controller. The uplinks on the faceplates are not usable in this mode.
Note that the IPFM controlled mode is supported in the LAG Shelves only.
Stand-alone mode
In stand-alone mode the inter-worked traffic is handled by the uplinks on the faceplate
without using neither IP spokes on the backplane nor an IP controller. The SW image
and the database is stored on the AP. For some functions (LED test, pack polling,
inventory data and summary alarm) a COMDAC is required in the shelf.
This mode is supported in all shelf types, but it is not supported by each IP AP type.
Any combination of stand-alone packs is possible in the shelf and any number of
stand-alone packs is allowed. But note that every stand-alone pack is a separate NE
from the management perspective, that means it reduces the NAM capacity in terms of
managed shelves correspondingly.

ESIM as controller in LAG 200 Shelf


In LAG 200 applications, the ESIM has two 100Base-T spokes to slots 2-3, and one
100Base-T spoke for ATP. The ESIM supports L3/L4 packet classification, QoS,
congestion management and access control functions.
It is used for small configurations, providing 3 slots for IP application packs
supporting:
• Fast Ethernet via the ESIM LPE408
• Voice over IP (VoIP) via the LPZ600/LPZ602
• VDSL via the LPV417
• ADSL2+ via the LPA633.
In contrast to other AnyMedia shelves it does not support TDM-based narrowband
applications or ATM xDSL applications.
Only in this shelf type the ESIM can be used as controller with the same IP-DSLAM
features as the IPFM. An IP forwarding module (IPFM) cannot be used as controller in
this shelf. In this configuration the ESIM resides in slot 1 only.

Turn-up procedures
The initial system turn-up introduces each section with a flowchart that graphically
displays the order of the turn-up procedures. Then follows an ordered sequence of links
to the applicable turn-up procedures.

Save to NVDS
Important! After each set of provisioning operations, the provisioning data must be
written to NVDS. If it is not written to NVDS, the provisioning data will be lost
when the IPFM or AP pack is reset or removed and reinserted.

Assumption
For some functions (LED test, pack polling or inventory data) a COMDAC and for
metallic line testing additionally a CIU/CTU are required in the LAG shelf. The IP
packs have to be provisioned on the COMDAC too. It is assumed that COMDAC and
CIU/CTU have been inserted and that COMDAC and CIU/CTU and the IP packs have
been provisioned on the COMDAC as described in the Commands and Procedures for
narrowband services.

Configuration considerations for the different AnyMedia ® shelf


types
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
The Commands and Procedures for IP-based Services apply to all IP-based services in
the AnyMedia Access System, independent of the shelf type used:
• AnyMedia ® LAG 1900 Shelf
• AnyMedia ® LAG 4300 Shelf
• AnyMedia ® LAG 200 Shelf
• AnyMedia ® ETSI V5 Shelf (consider limitations on support of IP-based services)
• AnyMedia ® LAG 2300 Shelf
• AnyMedia FAST Shelf (consider limitations on support of IP-based services).
Although the principle of turn-up and operations and maintenance is the same for the
different LAG Shelf types, there are some differences to consider regarding:
• Physical design and IPFM/ESIM type used
• Slot numbering
• Access Identifiers.

LAG 1900 Shelf physical design


Each AnyMedia LAG 1900 Shelf includes one row for circuit packs and application
packs. If one IPFM is inserted, it provides up to 13 slots for application packs. IPFMs
(LPI904/906) reside in slot 1 (preferred IPFM slot) and optionally in slot 2 (IPFM
protection slot).

Important! Do not insert ICAPs into slots 1-2!


In controlled and stand-alone mode, ICAPs are only supported in slots 3-14.

LAG 4300 Shelf physical design


Each AnyMedia LAG 4300 Shelf includes two rows for circuit packs and application
packs. If one IPFM is inserted, both rows together provide up to 42 slots for
application packs. IPFMs (LPI903) reside in slot 25 (preferred IPFM slot) and optional
in slot 26 (IPFM protection slot).

LAG 200 Shelf physical design


The AnyMedia ® LAG 200 Shelf provides three AP slots for supporting the following
IP-based services:
• One ESIM (LPE408, 8 ports) for Ethernet access and for controlling, which resides
in slot AP-1 only and
• one VoIP AP (LPZ600, 32 ports) for VoIP services and one VSIM AP (LPV417, 16
ports) for VDSL services, which reside in the slots AP-2, AP-3 or
• up to two VoIP AP (LPZ602, 64 ports) for VoIP services, which reside in the slots
AP-2, AP-3 or
• up to two IPADSL2 AP (LPA633, 32 ADSL2/2+ ports) for xDSL services, which
reside in the slots AP-2, AP-3.
TDM-based narrowband services and ATM xDSL services are not supported.

ETSI V5 Shelf physical design


Each AnyMedia ETSI V5 Shelf includes one row for circuit packs and application
packs. For IP-based services IP COMDAC APs (ICAPs) in stand-alone mode and
LPZ600 can be inserted, other IP AP types are not supported by the shelf backplane. In
this mode, the ICAP uses one FE port on the faceplate to directly connect to the IP
network without using an IPFM controller. An ICAP may reside in any AP slot. The
COMDAC(s) and CIU are required for certain functionality such as inventory
management, LED test or metallic line testing.

Descriptions of the IP-based subsystem may include the terms ″preferred IPFM slot″
and ″IPFM protection slot″. These terms are generic because the preferred IPFM slot
and the IPFM protection slot have a different slot number in the different LAG shelf
types. The table below lists the slot numbers for the preferred IPFM slots and the
IPFM protection slots for the different AnyMedia LAG Shelf types.

OAM&P Connectivity
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
This section describes the maintenance interfaces for operations, administration,
maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) of the AnyMedia ® Access System related to
IP-based services.
Where to access the system for OAM&P activities, depends on whether the packs
operate in controlled mode or in stand-alone mode.
In controlled mode the interfaces used are located on the IPFM (or on the ESIM if the
ESIM is used in controller mode in a LAG 200 Shelf). The following OAM&P
interfaces are provided:
• 100Base-T port (outband)
• Inband management channel
• CONSOLE port (for initial system turn-up)
For stand-alone mode the OAM&P interfaces used are located on the individual APs.
The following table shows as an overview the subscriber interfaces, the network
interfaces (for stand-alone mode and for controlled mode) and the OAM&P interfaces
used in each mode.
Note that not all IP APs support stand-alone mode and that not all IP APs provide the
same management ports.

4. If the ESIM is used in controller mode in a LAG 200 Shelf, then it provides the same management
interfaces as in stand-alone mode.
5. For initial system turn-up.
6. Pack is not yet used in stand-alone mode.

This section contains information on:


• PC/GSI interface cabling to OAM&P ports in a simplex configuration of the IP
controller which is done in the same way as the OAM&P cabling to the
10/100Base-T management port of APs in stand-alone mode
– “Simplex direct 10/100BASE-T port connection ” (p. 2-15)
– “Simplex 10/100BASE-T port connection via hub” (p. 2-16)
• PC/GSI interface cabling to OAM&P ports in a duplex configuration of the IP
controller (not applicable to an ESIM controller),
– “Duplex direct 10/100BASE-T port connection ” (p. 2-17)
– “Duplex 10/100BASE-T port connection via hub” (p. 2-18)
• For OAM&P connection via an inband management channel refer to “Set inband
management channel (optional) ” (p. 7-59).
• “Serial connection to USB-A ports” (p. 2-18)

Simplex direct 10/100BASE-T port connection


For connecting directly (without going through a network or a hub) to the
10/100Base-T port in simplex mode use the following commercially available cable:
• Commonly called a “10BaseT cable”
• Wired “cross over” as described in the table below:
• RJ-45 connector on both ends
• Length suitable for location of the IPFM circuit pack relative to the location of the
PC

Duplex direct 10/100BASE-T port connection


For connecting directly to the 10/100BASE-T port in duplex mode (without going
through a network or a hub) there are two possibilities:
• Connect the PC/GSI directly to the active IP controller using a cable as described
in “Simplex direct 10/100BASE-T port connection ” (p. 2-15)above. If the IP
controller executes a side switch, the PC/GSI cable has to be moved to the newly
active IP controller.
• Construct a special Y-assembly as described below and use it to connect both IP
controllers directly to the PC/GSI.
– Obtain a commercially available “straight-through” wired RJ45 modular splitter.
– Connect commercially available straight through wired 10BaseT cables as
described in “Simplex 10/100BASE-T port connection via hub” (p. 2-16) to two
of the split-out jacks of the RJ45 modular splitter and the IP controllers.
– Connect commercially available cross over wired 10BaseT cables as described
in “Simplex direct 10/100BASE-T port connection ” (p. 2-15) to the common
jack of the RJ45 modular splitter and the PC.
The figure below shows how to construct this special Y-assembly.

Duplex 10/100BASE-T port connection via hub


For connecting not directly to the 10BaseT port in duplex mode (but going through a
network or a hub) connect both IP controllers to a hub and then connect the PC/GSI to
the hub using a cable as described in “Simplex 10/100BASE-T port connection via
hub” (p. 2-16)above.

Serial connection to USB-A ports


The serial connection to the USB-A port on IP APs is used for initial system turnup in
stand-alone mode. For this serial connection Alcatel-Lucent provides an adapter cable
with USB-A connector (DB9-to-USB RS232) ED7C873-31 G8.
Important! Although the CONSOLE connector below the FAULT LED looks like
a USB connector, it is not a USB connector. It will not work if a laptop is
connected, but attaching a true USB host or peripheral to this port may damage the
USB drivers of this device or the pack.
Note that not all IP APs provide a serial USB-A port.

• Default gateways are defined as: dest_ip_addr = 0.0.0.0 / mask = 0.0.0.0

Static Routes
• Route_Index = 1 is the ICAP’s main default route.
• All static (non-default-gateway) routes must be added to Route_Index = 1
Route Policy Tab A route policy should be provisioned for each default gateway defined in the static route
table. (Note: A route policy is optional for static route index 1 since it is the ICAP’s main
default route.)

The Source_IP_Addr must match the ICAP’s IP addresses (Management, Call Control and
RTP) exactly.

APs in stand-alone mode
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
By default, the ICAP and the VoIP APs are configured in controlled mode. When
required, the controlled mode has to be changed to stand-alone mode during system
turn-up.
In stand-alone mode several functions which are usually performed by the IP controller
have to be done by the APs. In this mode the APs are self-managed packs which can
be housed in any AnyMedia shelf. Faceplate connections are used for all IP traffic and
OAM&P data.
The ICAP supports simplex or duplex operation. For duplex operation in stand-alone
mode the FE2 ports of both ICAPs have to be connected via a LAN crossover cable.
From the management point of view, each AP in stand-alone mode (or each pair of
ICAPs in duplex mode) is a separate NE and needs to be accessible via the GSI
individually. For the description of how to access the AP via the GSI see the “System
Access via GSI ” (p. 7-14) procedure.

Assumptions
Make sure that the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• The a/b cabling is already installed in the rack.
• The shelf is powered.
• If the ICAPs operate in duplex mode, the preferred one resides in an odd numbered
slot and the non-preferred ICAP resides in the even numbered slot to the right.
• If the ICAP operates in simplex mode, it is recommended to install the first ICAP
in the odd numbered slot (preferred slot) and leave the even numbered slot to the
right empty, to be prepared for the future use of the ICAP duplex future.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
The IP subsystem supports several Layer 3 and Layer 2 functionalities.
The following Layer 2 functionality is supported:
• VLAN configuration
• MAC Learning
• Spanning tree.
The following Layer 3 functionality is supported:
• Static route
• IGMP snooping
• Trace route.
Each of the following blocks includes the links to the detailed procedure descriptions
that apply to this functionality.

VLAN configuration
Procedures that are related to VLAN creation include:
• “Create/modify a VLAN ” (p. 7-239)
• “Provision/Disable broadcast storm control ” (p. 7-252).
Note that VLAN provisioning on VoIP APs and on ICAPs is handled differently. It is
already included in the procedures used for activating VoIP service or service over
ICAPs and does not require further activities.

MAC learning
The IP packs (except the VoIP APs) internally maintain a table with the MAC
addresses that are learned from the network (dynamic MAC addresses).
It is also possible to provision secure MAC addresses in the table directly by the
operator (static MAC addresses).
MAC Learning is described in:
• “Provision/Delete MAC address learning ” (p. 7-248)

Support L2 and L3 functionality Related procedures

Spanning tree
When uplinks are configured using spanning tree, one of the links is considered to be a
redundant connection and is placed in the blocked state by one node in the spanning
tree, that means, no traffic is forwarded to it.
A spanning tree protocol group may be provisioned during initial system turn-up.
The procedure is described in:
• “Provision spanning tree protocol group (optional) ” (p. 7-54)

Static route
Routers forward packets to the destination addresses based on information from static
routes or dynamic routing protocols. The IPFM supports up to 256 static route entries.
The procedure how to set up a static route is described in:
• “Provision/Delete static route” (p. 7-251)

IGMP snooping
The purpose of IGMP snooping is to restrain multicast traffic in a switched network.
With IGMP snooping enabled, the switch intercepts IGMP messages from the host
itself and updates its MAC table accordingly.
Provisioning of IGMP snooping is described in:
• “Provision/Disable IGMP snooping ” (p. 7-254)

DHCP relay
If DHCP services are used to distribute dynamic IP addresses to the APs and they are
not located in the same subnet as the APs, the IPFM can act as a DHCP relay between
the DHCP requests of the APs and the DHCP servers.
The procedure how to provision/delete the IP addresses is described in:
• “Provision/Delete addresses in DHCP relay ” (p. 7-247)

Trace route
The procedure how to trace the route through a network is described in:
• “Trace route” (p. 7-257)

Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
The following chapter provides some general recommendations for quality of service
(QoS) provisioning on the IP subsystem and points to the related procedures.
The QoS provisioning is different for different pack types. Therefore links are provided
to detailed procedure descriptions. The procedure descriptions include information
about how to provision the classifier tables, the classification rules and the scheduler
on the IPFM and how to set up classification rules and provision the scheduler on
VSIM APs.
For VoIP APs and ICAPs all settings that have to be done for QoS provisioning are
already included in the procedures used for activating VoIP service or service over
ICAPs and do not require further activities.
Nevertheless, for completeness reasons these settings are summarized additionally here,
within the QoS considerations.

Quality of service

QoS provisioning recommendations


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Strategy
For QoS provisioning on the IP subsystem the following is recommended:
1. Assign VoIP traffic to a dedicated VLAN.
This isolates the traffic from subscriber data traffic and it permits to provision a
concise classifier to match VoIP traffic. Otherwise, it is difficult to provision a
classifier, because signaling (SIP/H.248) uses a deterministic port #, but RTP
packets can be assigned to thousands of port values.
2. The VLAN assignment can be made
• on the IPFM with untagged uplinks from the VoIP APs, or
• on the IPFM and on the APs using tagged uplinks.
Both VLAN assignment options are supported. Tagged uplinks permit 802.1p
priority to be set on the APs, but this provides no clear advantage.
3. Construct a classifier to match the VoIP VLAN number.
If SIP signaling is used and it is desired to provide differentiated QoS for
emergency services, then provision multiple classifiers to match all combinations of
the VoIP VLAN and TOS octet. Also, provision the TOS values on the APs.
4. Assign the classified VoIP traffic to high-priority queues.
If WRR scheduling is used, then allocate bandwidth for the VoIP service class.
5. Assure that default classifiers are defined for subscriber data packets.
The subscriber data traffic must be assigned to lower-priority queues than VoIP
traffic. Optionally re-mark the subscriber data packets.

VoIP AP provisiong for QoS


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
As mentioned, all settings that have to be done for QoS provisioning for VoIP APs are
already included in the procedures used for VoIP service activation.
Nevertheless, for completeness reasons these settings are summarized additionally here,
within the QoS considerations.
The VoIP pack offers QoS on three levels:
• VLAN tagging and 802.1q priority
• IP TOS settings
• Subscriber priority.
The three levels are provisioned independently from each other.

VLAN support
QoS based on VLAN tagging only affects data transmission in the network. VoIP pack
operation is only affected as frames might not be accepted.
If VLAN administration is enabled:
• All frames will be sent VLAN tagged.
• Only tagged frames with the correct VLAN ID are accepted, other frames are
dropped.
• Only 1 VLAN ID is supported using a single 802.1q priority for all ports on the
pack.
• IPFM QoS settings must match VoIP configuration.
If VLAN administration is disabled:
• All frames will be sent untagged.
• Only untagged frames are accepted.

IP TOS support
TOS settings will only affect data transmission in the IP network as the VoIP pack is
no possible point of congestion for downstream data.
Four different data types with individual TOS settings exist:
• Normal call control data (for call setup)
• Normal call RTP data (for voice)
• Emergency call control data (for call setup)
• Emergency call RTP data (for voice)
All ports on a pack use the same TOS configuration. As a rule, the TOS for emergency
calls should be higher than those for normal calls The TOS settings for the classes
define the complete TOS byte. Therefore the provisionable range is 0{255.

Quality of service VoIP AP provisiong for QoS

Subscriber priority
Subscriber priority defines a possible limitation of system resources for subscribers of
different classes. This may affect data transmission and is therefore regarded as part of
QoS.
• Four classes are defined:
– Emergency
– Urgent
– Normal
– Non-urgent.
• For each class, the maximum percentage of system performance allowed can be
provisioned (threshold).
• 100% equals 36 RTP streams.
• The sum of all settings can exceed 100%
• There is a strict priority among the four classes. If high-priority users consume all
RTP streams, then lower-priority users are denied service.
• Existing calls are not disrupted.
• If a new RTP stream would exceed the provisioned threshold, the call setup is
rejected. The originating subscriber will receive an announcement or tones to
indicate that the call attempt is denied.

Related procedures
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview
In this information product operations, administration and maintenance functions mean
functionality that is related to:
• Configuration management
• Inventory management
• Performance management
• Fault management
• Reconfiguration/Migration.
Each of the following blocks includes the links to the detailed descriptions of the
procedures that apply to this functionality.

Assumption
For these procedures it is assumed that the IP subsystem is up and running. Procedures
that are based on more specific assumptions, will provide more detail.

Configuration management
Software and configuration data management refers to the management of program
images of the IPFM and the APs and to the handling of provisioning data. It also
means methods to backup and restore the database.
The following procedures are applicable:
• “Database backup” (p. 7-306)
• “Database restore ” (p. 7-308)
• “IPFM/ESIM Software download and activation” (p. 7-335)
• “AP Software download and activation in controlled mode” (p. 7-297)
• “System initialization” (p. 7-347)

Operations, administration and maintenance functions Related procedures

Inventory management
Inventory management information for the IPFM and the IP APs can be retrieved via
the IPFM as soon as the packs have been inserted. A technician sees a graphical
representation of the AnyMedia ® LAG Shelves populated with IPFM pack(s) and IP
APs on the GSI .
In mixed configurations, inventory management information for IP packs, as well as
TDM narrowband APs, can also be retrieved via the COMDAC. A technician, logged
into the COMDAC, sees a graphical representation of the AnyMedia ® LAG Shelves
populated with both TDM narrowband and IP APs on the GSI. A technician in a mixed
configuration, when connected to the IPFM, sees a graphical representation of the
AnyMedia ® LAG Shelves populated with IP APs only on the GSI.
Inventory management in the IP subsystem is supported by the following procedure:
• “Retrieve IP Equipment” (p. 7-328)

Performance management
Performance management is the system activity for collecting and reporting data on the
quality of transmission. The IP subsystem supports remote monitoring (RMON)
according to RFC1757.
It contains statistics measured by the probe for each monitored Ethernet interface on
the device.
Currently, performance management in the IP subsystem is supported by the following
procedures:
• “Retrieve RMON statistics” (p. 7-330)
The following procedure applies to the system performance of the IP subsystem:
• “Provision/deprovision CPU utilization alarm” (p. 7-326).

Fault management
Fault management is the system activity for operations that cover the following:
• Maintenance — automatic and manual activities to ensure continued operation and
minimize service degradation.
• Alarms — equipment and facility monitoring that results in alarms.
• Protection switching
– IPFM protection
Automatic switch from a failing IPFM to a standby IPFM when a fault is
detected on the active IPFM
– Uplink protection
Automatic switch from the active IPFM to a standby IPFM when a fault is
detected on any uplink of the active IPFM. The uplinks that shall be used after
the side switch are provisionable.
– 1:N POTS circuit protection
• Testing — turn-up tests and on-demand circuit testing.

Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This chapter contains an alarm description for each alarm that may be raised in the IP
subsystem and leads to the applicable trouble clearing procedures. The alarm
descriptions show which alarm strings may be provided by the IP subsystem, inform
about the possible causes, the impact on service and the default severity of these
alarms.
The alarm descriptions are grouped into several categories. The last paragraph of each
alarm description directly leads to the corresponding trouble clearing procedure which
is included later in this chapter.

Reporting and retrieving IP related alarms


The alarms for IP APs and the IPFM are reported/retrieved via the IP-related OAM&P
interfaces as described in “Overview” (p. 2-13). The system also supports query for
alarms and status conditions over these interfaces.
Active alarms can be retrieved via “Retrieve active alarms” (p. 7-327).
Note: Environmental alarms, the IP subsystem summary alarm as well as pack failure
alarms for the AnyMedia® LAG Shelves are reported via the OAM&P interfaces for
narrowband services.

To clear “IPFM software mismatch” alarm


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure is used to clear an alarm that is raised in duplex IPFM mode due to
different software on the standby IPFM and the active IPFM. It must be cleared
because the system is not protected in this condition.
After completion of this procedure the correct software version is running in the IP
subsystem and the same IPFM is the active one as at the beginning.
The alarm may be raised in the following scenarios:
• During system turn-up when two IPFMs with different software versions are
inserted
• When upgrading a running system from simplex to duplex IPFM mode
• When software has been swapped from Alternate version to Current version.
• After software download.
The procedure is not service-affecting.

Assumption
Make sure that in a running system the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• The system configuration has been stored to NVDS.
• Duplex operation mode is required.
• The software version on the active IPFM is the required one.

Procedure
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 From the menu bar select IP SubSystem -> IP Data -> System -> Software ->
Administration.
Result: The Software Administration window opens. It displays the Current
software versions on both IPFMs and the Alternate software version that is also
available.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Copy software from the active IPFM to the standby IPFM. Therefore, in the SW
Download subtab select from the SW Type pull-down menu IPFM.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 In the Download Direction field select the IPFM Stby checkbox and click Apply.

Result: At the bottom of the Software Administration window the progress of the
file transfer and writing to flash is displayed. After completion and a refresh of the
window the new software version is displayed in the Alternate column of the
standby IPFM.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Select the SW Activation subtab on the Software Administration window.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 In the SW Activation subtab select the Slot number of the standby IPFM. and click
Apply.
Result: The standby IPFM reboots. When initialization completes, the standby
IPFM is running the same software as the active IPFM.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

6 Follow the “Retrieve active alarms” (p. 7-327) GSI operation in order to verify that
there is no longer an IPFM software mismatch alarm.

To clear “software mismatch alarm between AP and controller


flash”
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure is used to clear an alarm that is raised due to different software image
of a certain AP type on the controller flash (IPFM/ESIM) and on the flash of this AP.
After completion of this procedure the same software version is kept on the controller
flash and on the flash of the AP running in the IP subsystem.
Note that the term controller is used whenever the IPFM or ESIM is used as
controller in an IP subsystem.
The alarm may be raised in the following scenarios:
• During system turn-up
• When software on the AP has been swapped from Alternate version to Current
version.
The procedure is service affecting if the flash on the AP must be upgraded.
The procedure is not service-affecting if only the flash on the controller needs to be
upgraded.

Assumption
Make sure that in a running system the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• The system configuration has been stored to NVDS.

To clear “Uplink failure” alarm


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure is used to clear alarms that are raised when a failure is detected at least
at one uplink (on IPFM/ICAP/ESIM) while carrying service. This alarm is a summary
alarm and may be caused by one or by several IPFM/ESIM uplink failures.
The alarm must be cleared because this failure may result in congestion and traffic
loss.
Note that the IPFM and the ESIM (in a LAG 200 Shelf) can be used as central
controller of the IP subsystem.

Assumption
The technician has access to information about which uplinks are required.

Flowchart
The example below shows the principle how to clear uplink failure alarm on an IPFM
controller pack.

Purpose
This trouble clearing procedure is used for trouble analysis and clearing and applies to
the following alarms:
• “GR-303 data link failed alarms - TMC/EOC” (p. 6-33)
• “GR-303 far end major or critical alarm” (p. 6-34)
• “GR-303 far end minor alarm” (p. 6-35)
The TMC data link handles dynamic call setup and disconnect information. The EOC
data link handles OAM&P information for the GR-303 interface.
These alarms may be raised in an AnyMedia host terminal equipped with ICAP(s) due
to faulty DS1s associated with TMC/EOC data links or unprotected IODS1 fault in an
RT.
They alarms must be cleared because the dynamic call set-up handling and disconnect
information for the RT may interrupted or the OAM&P information for the GR-303
interface is lost.

To clear RT alarms caused by wrong cabling


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This trouble clearing procedure applies to the following alarms:
• “RT link identification failed alarm” (p. 6-37)
• “RT link layer 2 failed alarm” (p. 6-39)
• “RT link layer 3 failed alarm” (p. 6-40)
These alarms may be raised in ICAPs, primarily after installation or other cabling
activities.
The alarms must be cleared because they may lead to congestion on the other links up
to a complete loss of the RT interface.

Fault Clearance Procedure


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 CAUTION
ESD hazard
Electronic components can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge.
To avoid electrostatic discharge conductively connected wrist straps connect to the
cabinet ESP bonding point should be used.

Follow the complete E1 cabling path to check whether there is a mismatch in E1


cabling. Interface cabling may be interchanged or the E1 cable may be wired to a
wrong interface.
Change the cabling as required.
Result: If the cabling has been changed the alarm should be cleared. Otherwise
continue with next step.
End of Steps
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Set the remote terminal link to out of service to provoke a “Loss of Signal” alarm at
the far end. If this alarm at the far end will be raised for another feeder than the
expected one, then there is a E1 cabling mismatch at this E1 feeder.
Correct the cabling and enable the remote terminal link again by setting it to in
service.

To clear “Software program version mismatch” alarm on ICAP


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure is used to clear an alarm that is raised for ICAPs in duplex mode due
to different software on the standby ICAP and the active ICAP.
The alarm may be raised in the following scenarios:
• During system turn-up when two ICAPs with different software versions are
inserted.
• When upgrading a running system from simplex to duplex ICAP mode.
In stand-alone mode this alarm will only be raised, when the Autocopy function which
is activated by default has been deactivated for some reason.
The alarm must be cleared because the ICAP and the subtending systems are not
protected in this condition.
The procedure is not service-affecting.

Assumption
Make sure that in a running system the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• The system configuration has been stored to NVDS.
• Duplex operation mode is provisioned.

Procedure
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

To reset IP pack
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure is used for trouble clearing on a pack when other recommended
procedures did not solve the problem.
Apart of trouble clearing, a reset of an ICAP is always required and requested by the
system when IP address, VLAN, H.248 or MGCP provisioning data have been changed
in the Network tab.
Important! Do not unintentionally reset an IPFM in simplex mode or an AP in
stand-alone mode because you will temporarily loose connection and service.
A reset of the active IPFM in duplex mode results in a side switch before the reset.

Purpose
This procedure is used to clear the “Required pack missing” alarm on an ICAP in
duplex mode. The alarm indicates that the standby ICAP is faulty or was removed or it
is in a pack reset.
The alarm must be cleared because protection is not effective anymore.

Assumption
It is assumed that protection is required and therefore a migration to simplex mode is
not an acceptable option.

Procedure
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Check whether the standby ICAP is in a reset.


From the GSI menu select IP SubSystem -> IP Data -> Fault -> Event Log.
Result: The Event Log window opens. If there is no entry that indicates that the
ICAP is in a reset, proceed with next step.
If the ICAP is in a reset the alarm will disappear as soon as the reset has
completed.

To clear “Required pack mismatch” alarm


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure is used for trouble clearing when the “Required pack mismatch alarm”
is raised for ICAPs in duplex mode. The alarm indicates that the hardware of the two
ICAPs is not compatible.
The alarm must be cleared because traffic cannot be switched from the active ICAP to
the standby ICAP, that means, no protection is effective.
Important! Do not replace the active ICAP because this will interrupt service on
all connected E1/DS1 lines.

Background
Two packs are compatible when the interchangeability code (ICC) is compatible.
The ICC is printed on the top of the faceplate (for example S1:1). Only packs whose
ICCs are the same on the first position are compatible (for example S1:1 is compatible
to S1:2 but not to S2:1).

Procedure
The standby ICAP has to be replaced by an ICAP which is compatible to the active
ICAP.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Check the ICC of the active ICAP and look for another ICAP with a compatible ICC
which can be used to replace the standby ICAP.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

To clear incoming E1 signal fault alarms


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This trouble clearing procedure applies to the following alarms:
• “AIS detected alarm” (p. 6-57)
• “Incoming E1 signal FE degraded alarm” (p. 6-58)
• “Incoming E1 signal near end degraded alarm” (p. 6-59)
• “Incoming E1 signal failed alarm” (p. 6-60)
• “Incoming E1 signal LOF alarm” (p. 6-61)
• “Incoming E1 signal LOS alarm” (p. 6-62)
• “Remote alarm indication received alarm” (p. 6-63)
Note that the feeder protocol RT_TDM is predefined by the customer key code (CKC).
These alarms may be raised in an AnyMedia system equipped with ICAP(s) due to
faulty E1 link connection(s). The E1 physical feeder ports are E1 circuits that are used
to provide the E1 link connections. The circuitry for each E1 port is located at the
ICAP. The E1 feeder numbers AP-1-{slot #}-{feeder port #} are used to identify these
E1 physical ports for reporting E1 signal faults.
They alarms must be cleared because they may lead to crosstalk or excessive noise on
the E1 links, up to a complete loss of the E1 link connections.

Fault Clearance Procedure


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Check the operational status of the individual E1 links:


If the ICAP System Turnup window is not yet open, from the menu bar select IP
Subsystem -> ICAP -> System -> General
Result: The ICAP System Turnup window opens.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Select the Feeder tab.

4 Verify the E1 loopback test results.

IF... THEN...
the E1 line loopback test result is good the problem is most likely to be at the
ICAP system.
the E1 line loopback test fails the problem could be at the far end

interface between the far end [IO_E1(P)]
and the ICAP system.
Check the following items if the loopback
test fails:
• If all of the faulted E1s are carried by
the same IO_E1(P) pack, the problem
could be at the input to the pack;
indicated by its FAULT LED lighting.
• Otherwise, the problem could be at the
interface between the far end
[IO_E1(P)] and the ICAP system.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 Visual check of the E1 link connections.

IF... THEN...
the 120Ω / 75Ω termination on the E1 go to Step 6.

Alarms and trouble clearing

To clear DS1 input signal fault alarms


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This trouble clearing procedure applies to the following alarms:
• “AIS detected alarm” (p. 6-65)
• “Incoming DS1 signal degraded alarm” (p. 6-66)
• “Incoming DS1 signal failed alarm” (p. 6-67)
• “Yellow alarm received” (p. 6-68)
• “Incoming DS1 signal LOF alarm” (p. 6-69)
• “Incoming DS1 signal LOS alarm” (p. 6-70)
Note that the feeder protocol GR303 is predefined by the customer key code (CKC).
These alarms may be raised in an AnyMedia host terminal equipped with ICAP(s) due
to faulty DS1 link connection(s) to the RT.
They alarms must be cleared because they may lead to crosstalk or excessive noise on
the DS1 links, up to a complete loss of the DS1 link connections to the RT.

Fault Clearance Procedure


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Check the operational status of the individual E1 links:


If the ICAP System Turnup window is not yet open, from the menu bar select IP
Subsystem -> ICAP -> System -> General
Result: The ICAP System Turnup window opens.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Select the Feeder tab.


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 In the Feeder Config subtab, conduct a Loopback Action on the appropriate DS1
feeder towards to the RT.
Note that the DS1 loopbacks are executed by using the values operate and release.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Verify the DS1 loopback test results.

IF... THEN...
the DS1 loopback test result is good, the problem is most likely to be at the
ICAP system, provided that
DS1-provisioned parameters agree with
required service.

IF... THEN...
the DS1 loopback test fails, the problem could be at the far end
(IODS1 pack), the ICAP system, or at the
interface between the far end (IODS1) and
the ICAP system.
Check the following items if the loopback
test fails:
• If the AIS detected alarm is received
from the far end, the problem is at the
far end.
• If all of the faulted DS1s are carried
by the same IODS1 pack, the problem
could be at the input to the pack;
indicated by its FAULT LED lighting.
• Otherwise, the problem could be at the
interface between the far end (IODS1)
and the ICAP system.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

System Access via GSI


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this procedure to access the IP subsystem via the GSI on a PC. The IP subsystem
can be either
• a controlled system or
• a stand-alone IP application pack or
• an IP system in a LAG 200 Shelf with an ESIM in controller mode.

Assumptions
Make sure that the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• Verify that IP connectivity between PC and circuit pack is provided via LAN or
directly.

Required equipment
The following equipment is required:
• A PC that is equipped with the GSI software and properly configured. Instructions
for installing the GSI can be found in “Installing the GSI” (p. 7-6).

Procedure
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Determine from the work order how the PC is to be connected to the shelf.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 If you don`t know the IP address of the network element you want to connect to,
follow the procedure “Set/Retrieve IP address ” (p. 7-66) or in case of an ICAP or a
VoIP configured in stand-alone mode follow the procedure “Configure or retrieve
stand-alone mode for ICAP or VoIP AP via terminal” (p. 7-31).
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Verify that the IP address of the PC is compatible for direct connection to the circuit
pack.
If PC IP address and IP address of the network element do not have the same Network
ID the communication between both systems will not work. In this case ask your
network administrator for the appropriate IP address of your PC.

Detailed procedure descriptions AP Installation

Result: When the AP is inserted, all LEDs on the AP light for a short interval,
followed by a flashing of the FAULT LED during AP self-initialization. The
FAULT LED will remain lit red until the cable connectors have been attached. (The
LEDs on the ICAP do not behave this way).
Failure conditions: If the FAULT LED remains dark, check the following possible
causes:
• Is the shelf powered?
Verify that the LEDs POW1 and POW2 on the CIU/CTU are lit.
• Are the shelf fuses faulty?
Refer to the Installation Manuals and check the fuses.
• Is the AP faulty?
Insert another AP and check the LED behavior.
System behavior: If the ICAP (in controlled mode configuration) is not seen by
the IPFM within 5 minutes verify that the ICAP is not provisioned for standalone
mode.

Configure or retrieve stand-alone mode for ICAP or VoIP AP


via terminal
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure applies to the turn-up of an ICAP or a VoIP AP in stand-alone mode,
that is in configurations where no IP controller is present in the shelf.
This procedure is based on running a script that supports you to change the
configuration mode of the AP to stand-alone mode and to set the management IP
address, the mask and routes on the pack via its serial port.
Note that this procedure does not apply to the LPZ602, because this pack does not
support stand-alone mode.

Required equipment
The following equipment is required:
• PC with a terminal program installed (for example Microsoft Windows Hyper
Terminal)
• A cable to connect the PC to the serial port of the pack
– For an ICAP (LPI600) use the special adapter cable (ED7C873-31 G8) with a
DB9 connector on one side and an RJ45 connector on the pack side.
– For a VoIP AP (LPZ600) use the special adapter cable (ED7C873-31 G13) with
a DB9 connector on one side and an RJ45 connector on the pack side.

Assumption
The IP address, subnet mask and default gateway are known and appropriate to allow
the connection to the PC via the LAN port of the AP after the completion of this
procedure. If this is not the case and you have a Windows® based system, reconfigure
the IP address on the PC accordingly by changing the network settings.
If the pack is an ICAP running in duplex mode, the FE2 ports of both ICAPs are
connected via a LAN crossover cable assembly (ED7C873-31 G7).

Procedure
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Connect the serial port of the PC to the serial port on the faceplate of the pack.
If the pack is an ICAP, then use the special adapter cable and connect the USB like
connector to the CONSOLE port of the pack. Do not use a common USB connector
cable!
If the pack is a VoIP AP, then use the special adapter cable and connect the RJ45
connector to the CONSOLE port of the pack. Do not use a common LAN connector
cable!

Set inband management channel (optional)


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this procedure to set up management access to the IPFM via IPFM uplinks
(inband management) or to ESIM via ESIM uplink (if the ESIM is used as controller
pack in a LAG 200 Shelf) and reserve sufficient bandwidth to it if it has to be
guaranteed that the management channel will not be ruled out by user traffic.
Note that OAM access via any provisioned L3 VLAN is not provided per default. If
L3 VLAN OAM is desired, then this L3 VLAN has to be provisioned at initial turn-up
and L3 VLAN OAM access can be provisioned with this procedure.

Assumptions
When setting up the inband management channel, the following conditions are
assumed:
• The AnyMedia ® LAG Shelf is initially configured and managed by GSI or NAM.
• The outband management is performed via its local MGMT Ethernet port.
• The uplink is connected to a network device and is operational.
• The required bandwidth has been calculated according to the QoS provisioning
recommendation for the management channel in the Applications and Planning
Guide for IP-based services.

Procedure

Wiring for VoIP APs


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure provides information on how to wire the VoIP AP LPZ600 with 32
subscriber ports and the 64 port VoIP AP LPZ602, that is wiring information for the
packs when they operate in controlled mode and for the LPZ600 in stand-alone mode.
The LPZ602 does not support stand-alone mode.
This procedure describes:
• How to connect the a/b cables (tip/ring cables) on the subscriber side to the
faceplate of the VoIP APs
• The cabling for the uplink to the IP network. The uplink cabling is required for
stand-alone mode (LPZ600 only).
The connection to the serial port is determined for initial system turn-up in stand-alone
mode only and is therefore described in the procedures for stand-alone mode. The
connection to the serial port does not apply to the LPZ602.
The OAM&P management is done via an inband management channel and does not
require any wiring.

Traffic Statistics
TS Type: BCO BCO This parameter defines the traffic parameter to be retrieved.
BCT BCO and BCT are peg counts, PHTL is the usage (30 second
scan) in CCS for the peak hour, and TCB is the peg count in
PHLT seconds that all channels were busy (i.e. the next call may be
TCB blocked) during the peak hour. Note that the peak hour is
defined by the hour (as measured by the time of day clock) with
the highest PHTL; the TCB value is always associated with this
same hour. CCS stands for Centum Call Second, i.e. 100 call
seconds. A call second is defined as one channel (a DS0 here)
being occupied for 1 second. Thus, each channel can carry a
theoretical maximum load of 36 CCS. The PHTL number is the
sum of a VRT’s DS0s CCS counts and depends only on the DS0
usage. For instance, a DS0 carrying two 100 second calls would
register the same CCS as one carrying one 200 second call.
DS0s used for data links (including the ROC) are not included
in the CCS calculation.

TS Value: 1 1..8 The measured value of the traffic parameter.


Read-only

Reset Time & Date: 0..65536 This value represents the date and time where the traffic statistic
data was last reset.

Peak Time & Date: 0..65536 This value represents the date and time of the Peak Traffic hour
and is only applicable for the traffic types PHTL and PCB.

Init Traffic Data: check box Setting this action to ’initialize’ requests to reset the traffic
statistic data. When read this parameter always delivers ’none’.

operational.

Secondary State: None none Indicates the secondary status of the GR303 link. The secondary port
auto service state shows the failure reason when the primary port service state
is ’disabled’. Failures of the related physical feeder are shown with the
mon ’MON’ (i.e., monitoring) secondary service state accompanied with an
yel alarm specifying the failure reason. The secondary service state ’AUTO’
indicates either a failure of the related physical feeder or the absence of

the sense that first a switch-over is tried to the primary MGC (unless
it was the one that failed), then to backup host 1, then to backup host
2 and so on. i.e. this means that, if a currently used backup host fails,
then the switch-over procedure starts again with the primary MGC
before trying to contact the other backup MGCs.A value of ’0’
disables a self-initiated switch-over between provisioned MGCs due

Re-Trans max Count: 3 infinite The maximum number of retransmissions to be performed


no re-transmission in case no reply is received to a signaling message within
the time period. To ensure that the number of retries
1..20 defined here are actually performed, the
icapH248IfMgcBackupRetryTimer must be set to either ’0’

Example: With 3 retransmissions and a 10 second
re-transmission interval the

40 seconds.
On the other hand, if infinite number of retransmissions
are set here, then the icapH248IfMgcBackupRetryTimer
parameter ’overrules’ and ultimately defines the time
period after which a self-initiated switchover is triggered.
Thus, to define infinite retransmissions without any

Provision duplex ICAPs in controlled mode or stand-alone


mode (optional)
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this procedure to set ICAPs provisioned in controlled mode or ICAPs provisioned
in stand-alone mode into duplex mode and to enable ICAP uplink protection if
required.

Assumptions
Two ICAPs are inserted in the AnyMedia Shelf.
Two ICAPs in adjacent slots where the left ICAP is inserted in the odd-numbered slot.
The FE2 ports of both ICAPs have to be connected via a LAN crossover cable (for
stand-alone mode only).

Requirements
For duplex mode a Y-cable assembly as described in “OAM&P Connectivity” (p. 2-13)
or a hub is required to connect to the LAN OAM&P port (FE1 port) of both ICAPs.

Procedure
Important! Do not connect E1/DS1 cables to the ICAP before the ICAP has been
set to “duplex”.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Follow “System Access via GSI ” (p. 7-14) for connecting the GSI.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 From the menu bar select IP Subsystem -> ICAP -> System -> General...
Result: The ICAP System Turnup window opens.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Note that if the Operational State: GettingReadyToProtect is displayed, wait until
the Operational State becomes ReadyToProtect before continuing.
System Fault: Duplex provisioning is denied if the protection slot is provisioned
for any type of AP. Such provisioning must be removed by the operator before
duplex provisioning can proceed.
For ICAP in stand-alone mode only. When the standby ICAP contains a different
software version the active ICAP will copy its software to the standby ICAP
because Duplex Auto Copy is enabled. After completion of copy, the standby
ICAP will reset.

Provision VLANs, IP addresses and Routing on ICAP


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this procedure to assign a dedicated IP address for each traffic type, i.e. RTP,
signaling and, in stand-alone mode, the inband management (OAM&P). That is, each
traffic type can have one dedicated IP address, which can be assigned to a dedicated
VLAN ID.
Configuration examples see “Examples of multiple IP addresses configuration on
ICAP” (p. 7-161).

Background
The operator defines via tables in the ICAP the assignment of the traffic types to IP
addresses and to VLAN IDs. Each traffic type belongs to a separate IP address or
VLAN ID respectively, and is forwarded to the IPFM via the backplane (in controlled
mode) and/or the FE1 uplink. In stand-alone mode the separated data traffic is
forwarded directly to the FE1 uplink on the ICAP.
Configuration example:
Routing Policy table Static Route table VLAN table
Pol Idx Src IP Source Mask RT Idx# RT Idx Dest IP Dest Mask Gatway VLAN IP Addr. Mask BP FP VPT
1 30.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 3 2 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.10 10 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 T 1

Use this procedure to create a V5 Interface entity to concentrate subscribers connected
to one or more subtending V5 systems into one VoIP interface of this ICAP.
Two subprocedures must be completed to provision the V5 aggregation on an ICAP:
• “V5 Interface provisioning in ICAP” (p. 7-165)
• “V5 User port provisioning” (p. 7-172).
To create a POTS subscriber entity, see the procedure GR-5610 POTS subscriber
growth in the chapter System Reconfiguration of the Commands and Procedures for
Narrowband Services with TDM COMDAC (363–211–119).

Assumptions
The system is configured via customer key and operates in E1 mode.
All required provisioning is complete.

Wiring for ICAPs


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure provides information on how to wire the ICAP, that is wiring
information for the pack when it operates in controlled mode and for stand-alone
mode, for simplex and for duplex operation mode. It covers E1/DS1 cabling as well as
the uplink cabling to the IP network.
This procedure contains four subprocedures which describe - dependent on the
configuration - the following:
• The cabling for a simplex configuration in controlled mode.
• The cabling for a simplex configuration in stand-alone mode.
• The cabling for a duplex configuration in controlled mode.
• The cabling for a duplex configuration in stand-alone mode.
Note, that in some cases it is important to do the cabling in the right order. In a duplex
configuration do not connect the E1/DS1 cables before the ICAP is set to duplex.
Additionally to the four subprocedures the procedure provides information about the
required cables and it shows several wiring examples.
The OAM&P management is done via an inband management channel and does not
require any wiring.
Important! Do not use a common USB connector! Always use the special adapter
cable (ED7C873-31 G8) to connect to the CONSOLE connector on this pack.
Although the CONSOLE connector below the FAULT LED looks like a USB
connector, it is not a USB connector. It will not work if a laptop is connected, but
attaching a true USB host or peripheral to this port may damage the USB drivers
of this device or the pack.
The connection to the serial port is determined for initial system turn-up in
stand-alone mode only.

Cables
Depending on the configuration (simplex or duplex) and the operation mode the
following cables are required to connect to the ICAP(s):

Notes:
1. The “Buddy” connector (B DS1/E1) is for future use.
2. The connector M DS1/E1 on the faceplate supports 8 Tx/Rx feeders each.

Note that for special applications additional cables may be required. For more
information about these cables refer to the following individual examples.

Example: Wiring for stand-alone mode


The next figure shows an example with two ICAPs in duplex configuration in
stand-alone mode. In this example the ICAP E1/DS1 downlink feeders connect to the
E1/DS1 feeders in the same shelf.

Wiring for VDSL APs


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure provides information on how to connect the a/b subscriber cables
(tip/ring cables) to the faceplate of the VDSL AP (VSIM).
As the VDSL AP is used in controlled mode only, no other cables than subscriber
cables have to be connected.
Important! Although the CONSOLE connector above the FAULT LED looks like
a USB connector, it is not a USB connector. It will not work if a laptop is
connected, but attaching a true USB host or peripheral to this port may damage the
USB drivers of this device or the pack.

Cables
The cable assemblies used for VDSL APs are the commonly used a/b cables for most
APs (if nothing else is specified for them):

Wiring for ESIMs used as APs


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure applies to the ESIM used as application pack. For cabling the ESIM as
controller (in LAG 200 Shelf), refer to “Wiring for ESIM used as controller ” (p. 7-75)
.
This procedure provides information on how to connect optical fibers (up to eight Fast
Ethernet downlinks to subscribers) to the small form factor pluggable (SFPs) modules
attached to the connectors F1 to F8 on the ESIM faceplate.

SFP modules and cables


For installing fiber cables as Fast Ethernet downlinks to the subscribers, the following
equipment is required:
• One SFP module per Fast Ethernet downlink
Depending on the wavelength, the following SFP modules are available:
– 100Base-FX (LC connector for optical connection)
– 100Base-BX (LC connector for optical connection)
– 100Base-T (RJ45 connector for electrical connection).
• One metal radius clip for each fiber cable
The clip has to be installed to protect the fiber if the shelf doors will be closed.
• The fiber cables are commercially available and depend on the reach.
For the electrical cables to the Fast Ethernet 1 to 8 downlink ports use the following
cables:
• Commercially available 100Base-T cable (also known as CAT 5 cable), wired
“straight-through” as described in the table below
• Length suitable for the distance between the End A and End B.

End A (ESIM) End B (connection point in the IP network)

Detailed procedure descriptions Wiring for ESIMs used as APs

The cables for the downlinks are installed in the rack or cabinet and fiber cables are
preferably routed through a separate optical cable duct, if possible.

Install fiber cables to the Ethernet downlink and uplink ports


...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 CAUTION
Laser hazard
Lightwave digital transmission systems and associated optical test sets operate with
invisible laser radiation. Laser radiation can cause damage to the skin and
considerable injuries to the eyes. This applies particularly to the connections of the
optical packs. Although, at present, the transmitting power levels for Class 1 lasers
are below those known to cause injury to the eye at distances greater than 250 mm
(≈ 10 inches) direct exposure should always be avoided.
Don’t look into the end of an exposed fiber or optical connector of a pack as long as
the optical source is switched on. Never view any unterminated optical connector with
optical microscope or magnifying glasses as long as the laser source is switched on.
Always test with an optical power meter or infrared detectors that the fiber is
de-energized and ensure that the laser source can not be activated during inspection
with the microscope.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Insert the correct SFP modules (see labeling on the SFP module) in the appropriate
Fast Ethernet ports (1 to 8) on the ESIM faceplate.
Note that the cables have to be inserted from the bottom up – the downlink port 8 first,
then 7, 6, { 1.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 Obtain one radius clip per fiber to connect to a Fast Ethernet downlink port (1 to 8).

Wiring for IPADSL2_32p APs


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure provides information on how to wire the IPADSL2_32p APs, that is
wiring information for the pack when it operates in controlled mode and for
stand-alone mode.
This procedure describes:
• How to connect the ADSL2+ subscriber cable to the faceplate of the IPADSL2_32p
AP
• The cabling for the uplink to the IP network. An uplink is required for stand-alone
mode only.
The OAM&P connection to the LAN port LAN1 of the AP and the serial connection to
the CONSOLE port for initial system turn-up also apply to stand-alone mode only. The
LAN connection is done via a commercially available standard 100Base-T cable as
described in “OAM&P Connectivity” (p. 2-13). It is not subject of this procedure.
Important! Although the CONSOLE connector below the FAULT LED looks like
a USB connector, it is not a USB connector. It will not work if a laptop is
connected, but attaching a true USB host or peripheral to this port may damage the
USB drivers of this device or the pack.

Cables
The following cables are required to connect an IPADSL2_32p AP:

Create/modify a VLAN
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this procedure to:
• Create a VLAN on an IPFM, ESIM, ICAP, LPZ600, LPZ602, VSIM or on an
IPADSL AP.
• Enable or disable a filter for the incoming packets on an IPFM port, ESIM port,
VSIM port or on an IPADSL port.
• Provision the acceptable frame types on an IPFM port, ESIM port, VSIM port or
on an IPADSL port.
• Provision the PVID for individual ports on a VSIM AP.
For the VSIM AP, the PVID is also provisionable. It is not automatically set to the
VLAN ID of the untagged VLAN. Ports on the VSIM AP can be provisioned as
untagged in multiple VLANs. It is recommended that the PVID is set to the VLAN
ID of one of the Untagged VLANs.
When creating a VLAN, the following provisionable items are required:
• VLAN Type
• VLAN ID
• VLAN Name
• Broadcast Storm Control (optional)
• IP Address (only applicable for Layer 3 VLANs; not applicable for VSIM APs)
• Subnetmask (only applicable for Layer 3 VLANs; not applicable for VSIM APs)
• Associated ports and egress rule per port
• Port VLAN ID (PVID) including Ingress Filter and type of Acceptable Frame.

Background on VLANs
The AnyMedia ® Access System system supports three types of VLANs:

– ″Normal″, port-based VLANs, including shared VLANs
– Layer 3 VLANs
– Tunnel VLANs (also known as QinQ or stacked VLANs).
• Each VLAN is linked with an ingress and an egress rule.
• Additionally to the ingress rules, classifying and policing is supported (see Chapter
4, “Quality of service”)
• VLANs must be provisioned separately on every single pack.
• VLAN configuration must be carefully planned through the whole network, or data
loss might occur.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
363-211-555 7-239
Issue 10, September 2008
Detailed procedure descriptions Create/modify a VLAN

• VLANs support MAC learning and broadcast storm control (note that VSIM APs
support broadcast storm control on a per pack basis only)
• There is no distinction between upstream or downstream except for tunnel VLANS
(for tunnel VLANs, downstream ports can be provisioned as QinQ access ports or
QinQ ports. Upstream ports can only be provisioned as QinQ ports). All ports are
treated identically. Only the physical connection makes a difference.
Not all packs support all VLAN types. The table below shows which VLAN types are
supported by the individual pack types.

Pack type VLAN types


Port-based VLANs L3 VLAN Tunnel-VLAN
Normal Shared
VLANs VLANs
IPFM × × × ×
VoIP AP ×
VSIM AP × ×

ESIM × × × ×

IPADSL2_32 × ×
AP

• The number of supported VLANs depends on the pack type:


– The IPFM supports 257 VLANs.
– The ESIM supports 257 VLANs.
– The VSIM AP supports 253 VLANs.
– The IPADSL2 AP supports 32 VLANs.
– The LPZ600 supports 1 VLAN.
– The LPZ602 supports up to 2 VLANs.
– The ICAP supports up to 3 VLANs.

Port-based VLANs
• Port-based VLANs form broadcast domains:
– Broadcast messages are forwarded to all members of a VLAN, but not to other
ports.
– Unicast messages with a known MAC address are only sent to the
corresponding port.
– Unicast messages with unknown MAC address are broadcasted.
– Multicast messages are only sent to all ports which have members of this
multicast group. Membership is learned by IGMP.
• The VLANs are identified by their VLAN ID

Issue 10, September 2008
Detailed procedure descriptions Create/modify a VLAN

• The AnyMedia ® Access System supports VLAN 1 to 4092. VLAN 4093 and 4094
are reserved for internal use.
• Ports are assigned to a VLAN with egress rules:
– Untagged
– Tagged
– Shared.
Note that egress rules are not provisionable for the LPA633 in stand-alone mode,
therefore the procedure below is not applicable in this case.
• Each port can be member of many VLANs, but only one can be untagged (except
VSIM).
• Each port has a PVID (port VLAN ID). This VLAN ID is used to tag untagged
packets for internal use. Default PVID for all ports is ″1″.
• Each port has ingress rules. A filter, which is enabled or disabled can be defined.

Ingress filter Accepted frames Result


Disabled All All received packets are
accepted at the port.
However they might be
Tagged only dropped later by
subsequent policies
Enabled All Untagged and/or tagged
packets with a valid VLAN
ID are accepted1
Tagged only Only tagged packets with a
valid VLAN ID are
accepted1

Notes:
1. A VLAN ID is valid, when the port is a member of this VLAN.

Shared VLANs
There are applications (e.g. video broadcast), where it might be helpful to split
protocols in different VLANs (e.g. control data and video stream).
• VLAN unaware subscribers connected to a port can only be member of one
untagged VLAN. To allow splitting traffic into different VLANs, a shared VLAN
must be used (or better: the port must be a shared member of a VLAN).
• A shared VLAN is unidirectional (not unicast), but is expected to transport
broadcast or multicast traffic.
• Broadcast traffic (e.g. video) from the ISP can be sent tagged (preferred) or
untagged, but it will be untagged at the subscriber ports.

Detailed procedure descriptions Create/modify a VLAN

• Control traffic is expected always to be tagged at network side.


• Untagged traffic from the subscribers will be sent tagged with the corresponding
VLAN ID (via a normal port-based VLAN) to the ISP.

Layer 3 VLANs
Layer 3 VLANs (L3 VLANs) allow routing in the packs of the AnyMedia ® Access
System.
• For L3 VLANs the packs support routing on VLAN base, not on port base.
Therefore the IP address is not assigned to a port, but to the VLAN.
• When an IP address (and subnet mask) is assigned to a VLAN, this VLAN
becomes a L3 VLAN and is internally connected to the router.
• Routing is only supported between L3 VLANs
• If routing is done between tagged VLANs, the VLAN ID of a routed packet is
changed.
• Subscribers on a L3 VLAN should have their default gateway set to the IP address
of this VLAN.
• L3 VLANs may support inband management. If L3 VLAN OAM access is desired,
then the L3 VLAN has to be provisioned at initial system turn-up.
• L3 VLANs are (optionally) used on VoIP APs to segregate different traffic types
like RTP, Signaling and OAM (in stand-alone operation or for ROCs of subtending
remote terminals).

Tunnel-VLANs
Tunnel-VLANs (also called QinQ or stacked VLANs) support an additional (outer)
VLAN tag on a packet.
• The additional tag is the VLAN ID of the tunnel-VLAN.
• A port can be member of a tunnel-VLAN being a QinQ -port or QinQ -access
-port.
• Packets at QinQ-ports have the additional outer VLAN tag, QinQ -access -port do
not.
• Packets received at a QinQ-access-port are forwarded to a QinQ-port by adding the
additional tag.
• Packets received at a QinQ-port are forwarded to an access port by deleting the
additional tag.
• Packets received at a QinQ-port are forwarded unchanged to QinQ-ports.
• If a port is member of a tunnel-VLAN, it cannot be member of normal port-based
or L3 VLAN.
• It is strongly recommended to only send tagged frames to a port, which is member
of a tunnel-VLAN, because there is no way to distinguish between a tunneled
untagged packet and a tagged not tunneled packet.

9 Select the associated VLAN ports and determine the egress rule for each port:
In the Port List field right click in the Egress Rule field of the selected port and
select the applicable egress rule for this port. The ports 1 to n are the links to the AP
slots. Then go to Step 12.
Additional Info - The following VLAN egress can be selected:
• Egress Tagged (standard VLAN)
To frames that are transmitted from these ports, a 4-byte tag including the VLAN
ID will be added (or kept if already contained) to the MAC frame header.
• Egress Untagged (standard VLAN)
Originally tagged frames that are transmitted from these ports, become untagged
(the tag field will be removed). An untagged frame remains untagged.
• Egress Shared (standard VLAN)
Egress shared refers to overlapping VLAN domains.
The ingress VLAN assignment (PVID setting) is derived from the provisioned egress
untagged VLAN membership of that particular port.
System Failure:
The creation of a new VLAN will be refused in the following cases:
• A given port is defined in a new standard VLAN and that port was already
defined as QinQ-access-port in an existing tunnel-VLAN.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

port and the VLAN ID in the outer tag is different to the VLAN ID of the
tunnel-VLAN, then the packet will be discarded. Any packet to be forwarded from
the tunnel-VLAN to the tagged port will be transmitted as double tagged packet
and the VLAN ID in the outer tag will be defined by the VLAN ID of the
tunnel-VLAN.(for tunnel-VLANs only)
• QinQ-access-port (for tunnel-VLANS only)
Any packet received on the port will be tagged with a second 802.1q tag regardless
of the tagged/untagged type of the original packets. The VLAN ID in the outer tag
will be defined by the VLAN ID of the tunnel-VLAN. Any packet to be forwarded
from the tunnel-VLAN to the port will be transmitted with the second IEEE
802.1Q tag removed.
A given port can only be defined as QinQ-access-port in one tunnel-VLAN. A port
can only be provisioned as a QinQ-access-port if it is not in any non-default
standard VLAN or any tunnel-VLAN.
The ingress VLAN assignment (PVID setting) is derived from the provisioned egress
untagged VLAN membership of that particular port.
System Failure:
The creation of a new VLAN will be refused in the following cases:
• A given port is defined as QinQ-access-port in a new tunnel-VLAN and that
port was already defined in an existing non-default standard VLAN.

Provision/Delete addresses in DHCP relay


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this procedure to provision IP addresses of one or several DHCP servers in the
IPFM or in the ESIM or to delete addresses.

Background
DHCP servers can be used to distribute dynamic IP addresses to the APs. But the
DHCP servers may not be located within the same subnet as the APs. Therefore the
IPFM or the ESIM may act as a DHCP relay between the DHCP requests of the APs
and the DHCP servers and their responses.

Note, that the selection of 802.1p or IP DSCP or IP Precedence will change the data in
the packets.

Provisioning recommendation
If user data is given the same priority by placing it into queue 3, it is possible that
internal management packets will be discarded due to possible congestion of this
queue.
In strict priority scheduling mode it is suggested that queue 3 is either not used for
any user data to avoid this potential loss of internal management packets.
If this queue is used for user data, you must make sure there is no ability to congest
the backplane interface (100 Mb) with user data and that at least 5 Mb (without
overhead) is reserved for the management traffic. Thus, the combined upstream traffic
rate from all VSDL ports must not exceed 95 Mb with overhead included.
If WRR scheduling mode is used, the bandwidth reserved for the highest priority
queue must be sufficient for internal management traffic which is bursty in nature. A
weight of no less than 5 should be used for queue 3. Again it is still recommended to
avoid using queue 3 for user data. If it is used, user data cannot exceed the Queue
Weight - 5. Thus, if the Queue 3’s Weight = 20, user traffic must not exceed 15 Mb.

Provision the IPFM/ESIM for QoS


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure is used to provision the IPFM or the ESIM (the ESIM is used as
controller pack in a LAG 200 Shelf) for quality of service (QoS). QoS is supported on
each port, no matter, whether upstream or downstream. Default settings exist for each
table type for the different levels, so that if nothing specific has been provisioned by
the operator, each packet is sent to its destination.
This procedure is subdivided in the following subprocedures:
• Provision/modify the classifier rules
• Provision the scheduler.
Note that it is the operator’s responsibility to create consistent entries in the classifier
tables. When inconsistent table entries are combined in a classifier rule, that rule will
not be hit.

Detailed procedure descriptions Provision the IPFM/ESIM for QoS

The packet flow through the pack is impacted by the following components
• The packet decoder extracts data from all Ethernet-packets received.
This information is used by the classifier/policy to perform the table comparisons
and to fill the address tables of the forwarding block.
• The forwarding block uses tables (MAC address tables, routing tables,{) to
distribute the incoming packet to the right ports.
Parts of these tables are filled automatically (MAC learning), other parts are
provisioned (static routes,{).
The functions performed by this block are:
– L2 switching
– L3 routing
– Multicasting, broadcasting (including broadcast storm control)
– Spanning Tree Protocol
– Link aggregation
– Address learning
– VLAN support
– Label forwarding (including MPLS, double VLAN, priority tag forwarding)
• The classifier/policy block compares the parameters of the incoming packet with
compare tables and generates output rules how this packet has to be handled.
The compare lists are provisioned. There is only 1-classifier/policy block for all
ports. The compare lists allow checks on dedicated port numbers.
• The scheduler/prioritizer block controls the output queues for each port.
There is one dedicated scheduler per port. The scheduler controls the packet flow
from the queues to the port.
• The prioritizer controls the distribution into the queues. It also can set/change the
802.1p priority of a transmitted packet.
• The queue engine consists of a queue multiplexer (controlled by the prioritizer) and
the queues.
There are 8 queues per port, represented by the queue priorities in the classifier
rules. These rules also map service classes to the queues.

The classification is done in 2 steps:


• The first step performs comparisons against 5 tables in parallel:
– Packet table
– L2/L3 group table using source addresses
– L2/L3 group table using destination addresses
– L4 group table using source addresses
– L4 group table using destination addresses
Each table comparison delivers an ID, if a match is found. The ID is the table entry
number.
Default entries are available at the end of each table. Comparison is done starting
with the first table entry and ends with the first match. So there is only 1 ID per
pack and table (5 are possible in summary per packet),
• These IDs are used as input for the second step, the comparison in the classifier
rules table. The result from this second comparison defines the action to be
performed on the corresponding packet.

Issue 10, September 2008
Detailed procedure descriptions Provision the IPFM/ESIM for QoS

Prioritizer rules
• There are 8 queues per output port
• Strict mapping between output queue and queue priority (queue 0 has priority 0,{)
• The outgoing 802.1p bits are equal to the incoming 802.1p bits
• Prioritizer only uses queue priority
Therefore it is recommended to mapping high SC priority to high queue priority.
Do not assign different SCs to the same queue priority.
• Queue priority is determined by:
– Classifier rules table entry (if defined)
– 802.1p bits (if no queue priority is defined)
– TOS/DSCP bits (if no 802.1p bits are available)
– 0 (else).

Provisioning rules
• User table entries are sorted by their input; first entry gets Nr. 0.
• Table entries cannot be manually re-ordered.
• Default table entries are always last in the tables.
• Table entries are checked from start (0) to end (63, 127, 511 respectively).
• The first match in each table ends the look-up process.
• L2/L3 group table entries should be entered with the longest sub-net mask first.
This ensures longest prefix match.
• Packet queue priority and service class in the classifier rules table should carefully
be matched. Do not assign different service classes to the same queue priority.
• It is strongly recommended, not to use more than 4 queue priorities.
• Do not map different service classes to the same queue.

Provision VSIM APs for QoS


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure is used to provision the VSIM APs for quality of service (QoS). QoS is
supported on each port, no matter, whether upstream or downstream.
The procedure is subdivided into two subprocedures:
• Provision/modify the classifiers including classifier rules, and policies including
policy instancies and policy attributes.
• Provision the scheduler.

(Logical) link port <--> Policy (Logical) link policy instance <--> Classifier

The classifier/policy block is built of dedicated classifiers and policies.


• There are up to 12 policies
Each policy:
– Is identified by a number (automatically assigned) and a user-defined name.
– Is linked to one or more ports.
– Contains up to 8 policy instances.
Each instance:
– Is identified by a number (automatically assigned)
– Is linked to a classifier.

Issue 10, September 2008
Detailed procedure descriptions Provision VSIM APs for QoS

Each policy-attribute:
– Defines a single action, that will be performed with a packet. Actions could be:
output queue to use, discard, redirect, change 802.1Q priority, change IP
priority, IP precedence
– Several actions can be performed with the same packet, but not all combination
are allowed.
Policies cannot share policy instances. If policies should contain identical policy
instances, these policy instances must be created in each policy.
• There are up to 8 classifiers.
Each classifier:
– Is identified by a number (automatically assigned) and a user-defined name
– Can be linked to several policy instances.
– Contains up to 6 classifier rules.
Each classifier rule contains a comparison type (and value).
Dependent on this, packets that match the comparison will then be handled by
the policy attributes of the linked policy instance.

• A packet that enters the VSIM pack passes the packet decoder, which extracts
information from each packet.
• This information will be handled by the policy to which this port is linked. A port
can only be linked to 1 policy.
• The packet is then checked by each classifier linked to the policy via the policy
attributes.

• If a classifier result indicates, that the packet must be processed, the policy marks
the packet with the policy attributes.
• Only the policy attributes of the policy instance, to which the classifier is linked
are valid (a policy attribute links only 1 classifier).
• The corresponding actions indicated by the policy attributes are not performed by
the policy function block, but by subtending function blocks (e.g. forwarding
block).

Activate VoIP AP 1:N port protection


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this procedure to protect one port on a VoIP AP running SIP control protocol. With
this procedure it is possible to delay an AP replacement in case of an AP circuit.
Note: The system supports one 1:N protection in the IP subsystem at a time.

Required equipment
A PC that is installed with the GSI software.
A COMDAC and a CIU/CTU is required for 1:N port protection.

Assumptions
TheAnyMedia ® Access System is in normal operation mode.

Important note
When 1:N port protection is active, the tip/ring of the protecting line is bridged to the
tip/ring of the protected line. Phones attached to both ports will ring when the
protected line receives a call. Therefore the a/b cabling of the protection port should
terminate at the MDF, that means no subscriber connects to it.

Procedure

AP Software download and activation in controlled mode


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this procedure to:
• Download AP software from an FTP server to the controller flash
• Download it from the controller flash to the AP
• Activate it.
Note that the term controller is used whenever the IPFM or ESIM is used as
controller in an IP subsystem. The ESIM is always used in simplex mode and inserted
in slot 1 from LAG 200 Shelf.
Important! The reboot after software activation will cause a service interruption.
Important! Prior to starting the download, make sure that your current
provisioning has been written to NVDS.

If the software upgrade is an application patch only, the service outage will be
approximately 10 seconds. If the software upgrade is a full software upgrade then the
service outage is at least 30 seconds.
In order to determine which type of software upgrade is relevant, compare the old SW
version number and the new SW version number. The example below shows how to
distinguish between a patch and an upgrade.
Initial SW version 03.00.01.00 -001_001
Patch 03.00.01.00 -002_001 If there is any difference after the ″-″.
then the SW upgrade is an application
patch and the service impact will be
brief.
Upgrade 03.00.01.01-001_001 If there is any difference before the ″-″,
then the SW upgrade is an application

Activate system log facility


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this procedure to activate the system log facility on individual AnyMedia IP packs.
That includes the installation of the Kiwi Syslog Daemon, which is part of the GSI
software delivery, on the local PC and to start logging.
Optionally these logs can also be logged by some other RFC3164 compliant syslog
server on a different host than the GSI.
Important! The various options of system logging should be used for diagnostic
purposes only. Setting tracing options during normal operation will decrease the
overall traffic capacity of the individual pack(s).

Background
Some packs provide the possibility to send RFC3164 compliant syslog notifications.
• The ICAP allows logs of
– Megaco control protocol
– Protocol errors
– Control events.
• The VoIP APs LPZ60x allow
– RTP tracing
– SLIC Log.
In any case the Kiwi Syslog Daemon which is part of the GSI software delivery or a
separate syslog daemon has to be installed before.

Assumption
The syslogd.exe file is available. In a standard GSI installation it is located in the
path C:\ProgramFiles\AnyMedia\GSI\Syslogd.exe.

Procedure
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Execute once the syslogd.exe file to install the Kiwi Syslog Daemon.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Start the GSI.


Additional information For more details refer to “System Access via GSI ”
(p. 7-14).
...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 For a system in controlled mode connect to the IPFM, or directly connect to the ICAP
or the VoIP AP if the pack runs in standalone mode.

Force IPFM side switch


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this GSI operation in a duplex system to force a side switch from the active IPFM
to the protection IPFM. After this procedure has been performed the Operational State
of the previous standby IPFM has changed to IS and the previously active IPFM has
become the new standby IPFM.

Background
The active IPFM does not automatically update the protection IPFM with provisioning
changes. The provisioning information of the protection IPFM is synchronized only
when an Save to NVDS operation is performed manually by the operator. As a result,
if a side switch occurs prior to an Save to NVDS operation, the system will revert to
the last saved configuration.

Assumptions
Make sure that the following assumptions are fulfilled:
• The system is provisioned for duplex operation.
• The protection pack is in the OOS (Out of service) or STBY (Standby) operational
state.
• The two IPFMs are of the same type.
• A software download, database back-up, database restore, or software activation
process is not in progress.

Heading Meaning Explanation


APP Apparatus The apparatus code uniquely identifies the specific
function provided by the pack. Packs with different
apparatus codes are not interchangeable (e.g. LPZ600).
ICC Interchangeability The interchangeability code is used to specify the forward
or backward compatibility of two packs with the same
pack type and apparatus code but different manufacturing
versions. It is of the form S m - n, where m is the issue
number and n is the series number of the product. In
general, a pack can be replaced by another pack that has
the same apparatus code and the same issue number
regardless of their Series Numbers
ECI Equipment Catalog The equipment catalog item is a 6-character code
identifying each pack. The code corresponds to the
bar-code label on the face-plate of the pack, and is
uniquely equivalent to the CLEI.
CLEI Common Language The Common Language Equipment Identifier is a
Equipment Identifier 10-character code identifying each pack type.
SLN Serial Number The serial number is a 12-character code uniquely
identifying each pack and indicating the date and place of
manufacture.

Retrieve call statistics on ICAP


...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
Use this procedure to retrieve call statistics. The ICAP provides call statistics on
demand. It allows to retrieve call statistics for the individual slot of a VoIP pack.
Currently call statistics are supported for the ICAP operating in H.248 mode only.

Background
The ICAP collects counts of events for the entire call traffic at a monitoring interval of
5 minutes. There are 288 × 5-minutes register to store the data and one current 5-min
register. In total, registers cover a period of 24 hours. The registers are numbered from
3 to 289, and ″Current″ and ″Previous″ for the most recent complete register and the
second most recent complete register respectively.
The following measurement entities are defined:
• H.284 (Megaco) command counters
– Add
– Subtract
– Modify
– Move
– Audit
– ServiceChange
– Connection loss to the MGC (MgcConnLoss)
– Invalid termination ID/package (InvTermID)
– ProtoError
– Notify
– TransPendMG2MGC
• Call processing success rate-statistics
– Successful calls (CollSucc..)
– Call failures (FailColl..)
– Premature releases (StableCollFail..)
• Protocol failure counters
• Signaling transport event counters.

Assumptions
Make sure that the VoIP interface is In Service (for obtain a call statistics for all 288
registers, the VoIP interface must have been in service for at least 24 hours.

System initialization
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This procedure uses the GSI to initialize the IP subsystem. The operator has three
options for the level of system initialization. These options and their impact on the IP
subsystem are described in “Background” (p. 7-347).
Note that the term controller is used whenever the IPFM or ESIM is used as
controller in an IP subsystem. The ESIM is always inserted in to slot 1 from LAG 200
Shelf and in simplex mode configuration.

Background
When initializing the system the operator has the following options
• Clear All Pack Configuration
This partial system initialization results in:
– All AP configuration data is cleared. The APs will reset.
– The configuration file for APs on the controller is deleted.
– All other provisioning on the controller will remain intact.
• Clear System Configuration except Management IP Address and Routing
Information
This partial system initialization results in
– All AP configuration data is cleared. The APs will reset.
– The configuration file for APs on the controller is deleted.
– All controller configuration data is cleared with the exception of the
management IP address, subnet mask and routing information.
– Both controller (if in duplex mode) will reset. The system ends up in simplex
mode with the active controller in the preferred slot.
– Except for the management IP and route information, the controller return to a
default (unprovisioned) state.
• Clear all System Configuration.
This full system initialization results in
– All AP configuration data is cleared. The APs will reset.
– The configuration file for APs on the controller is deleted.
– All controller configuration data including the Management IP address and the
Routing table is cleared.
– Both controller (if in duplex mode) will reset. The system ends up in simplex
mode with the active controller in the preferred slot.
– The controller return to a default (unprovisioned) state.

CAUTION
Service-disruption hazard
Initializing the system database in a given shelf interrupts IP service to all end users in
the shelf and, depending on the level of system initialization, clears all provisioning on
the controller.
Execution of a full system initialization also drops the operations communications links
to remote GSIs or NAM.
Do not use this procedure on an in-service system. It should normally be used only as
a part of initial system installation and system turn-up procedure.

Remote Management solutions for ICAP and


RT-ROC (COMDAC)

Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Purpose
This section shows three different remote management scenarios for the ICAP and, via
the AnyMedia RT-ROC (COMDAC), for the connected RTs:
• In controlled mode management via the management port on the IPFM
• In controlled mode inband management via an IPFM uplink port
• In stand-alone mode management via the uplink port on the ICAP.

Management via IPFM management port


The following scenario shows an ICAP in controlled mode can be managed via the
management port of the IPFM. For management a separate Layer 3 VLAN has to be
provisioned on the IPFM and on the ICAP in this case.

Administrative State
A nominal service state typically set by the operator. The administrative state is
non-volatile data. It survives system crashes when saved to NVDS.

ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line

ADSL (Full-rate ADSL)


Asymmetric digital subscriber line - A method of data transmission over unloaded copper
loops. The data rate transmitted toward the end user is typically much higher (e.g.
6.144 Mbps) than the data rate transmitted by the end user (e.g. 640 kbps).

ADSL subscriber
Asymmetric digital subscriber line - The subscriber lines that terminate on ADSL APs.

ADSL-lite (Universal)
A version of asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) that is less expensive than
full-rate ADSL and that operates at a lower bit rate than full-rate ADSL. This version of
ADSL is specified in ITU-T G.992.2.

ADSL2/ADSL2+
ADSL2 and ADSL2+ are two new standards for asymmetric digital subscriber line
(ADSL) technology specified in ITU-T G.992.3 to ITU-T G.992.5. These standards are
specifically designed to improve the rate and reach of ADSL largely by achieving better
performance on long lines in the presence of narrowband interference. ADSL2 achieves
downstream and upstream data rates of about 12 Mbps and 1 Mbps respectively,
depending on loop length and other factors. ADSL2 accomplishes this by improving
modulation efficiency, reducing framing overhead, achieving higher coding gain,
improving the initialization state machine, and providing enhanced signal processing
algorithms. As a result, ADSL2 mandates higher performance for all standard-compliant
devices.

ADSLAP
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Lineapplication pack (ATU-C) that transmits and receives
a broadband signal to/from ATU-R customer premises equipment (CPE), and if so
connected, diplexes a voice frequency signal on to the same tip and ring pair carrying
the broadband signal.

AID
Access identifier - AID is the address that is used to identify the physical or logical
entity (or entities) within a network element to which the command applies. It has the
format of a unique component identifier followed by hierarchical addresses of
components. For example, subap-{2}-{4} is an object representing the application pack
in slot #4 of the AnyMedia Subshelf #2.

(controlling) entity in such a way that the operational condition of the controlled entity is
only ″operational″ if the operational condition of the controlling entity is also
″operational″.

Remote login
Login into the AnyMedia ® Access System via LAN or External System LAN (over
TCP/IP DCN) from NAM or GSI.

RGP
Ringing Generator Pack - The RGP is a dual slot ringing generator pack, which may be
plugged in slot 40/41 and slot 42/43 of the AnyMedia LAG Shelf. The RGP in slot
40/41 drives ringing bus 0, while the RGP in slot 42/43 drives ringing bus 1.

Ringing protection mode


Two ringing sources (external or internal) on the AnyMedia LAG System are working in
active/active protection mode. Each one provides a ringing voltage to a separate ringing
bus. The power ringing is taken by the POTS APs from the ringing bus according to the
load sharing scheme. If one ringing voltage on one ringing bus fails, all POTS AP take
the ringing voltage from the remaining operational ringing bus.

Router
A LAN/WAN device that operates at OSI layers 1 (physical), 2 (data link), and 3
(network). Distinguished from a bridge by its capability to switch and route data based
upon network protocols such as IP.

RSTP
Rapid spanning tree protocol.

RTP
Real time protocol

RTU
Remote Test Unit - An RTU is a testing equipment for subscriber lines. An RTU-2 is
collocated to the system and performs test functions (application of test signals and
measurements) under the control of a test system controller. An RTU-1 is collocated to
the central office and not used in the 30 channel market.

S SA
Service Affecting

SC
Station clock - An external 2048 kHz synchronization signal, according to ITU-T G.703.

SCC
Serial communication controller - Part of the communication processor module of the
micro-controller MPC860. The SCC can be configured to implement different protocols.
For most protocols, this corresponds to portions of the link layer (OSI layer 2). For a
ROC (64-kbps timeslot of an E1 link), the SCC is configured to implement HDLC
protocol in QMC-mode (QUICC multichannel controller mode).

SDP
Session description protocol

Seamless Rate Adaptation


A distinguished V5.2 link with some special characteristics: timeslot 16 serves as
protection physical channel for the communication channel related to timeslot 16 of the
primary link. Both timeslots form protection group 1. The protection protocol is also
associated to timeslot 16 of the secondary link.

Security management
Consists of a set of functions that protect telecommunications networks and systems
from unauthorized access by persons, acts, or influences, and to track and report access
attempts.

Serial number
The serial number is a 12-character code uniquely identifying each pack and indicating
the date and place of manufacture.

Service pack
Identifies the pack(s) which are responsible for handling the service. In 1:N protection
configuration there are dedicated pack(s) which are protected by a protection pack. In
1:1 protection configuration it is the pack currently carrying the service.

Service state
Each unit in the system at any time has a defined service state. This service state is
system driven and shows the usability of the unit. The normal service state is a read
only value and can not be changed by the operator. Each service state consists of two
parts: a primary service state displaying the general usability [in service (IS) or out of
service (OOS)] and a secondary service state displaying in case of a failure the failure
reason [for example not operational (NOP)]. The secondary service state is not used in
all cases. For some objects there is an administrative service state, whose primary
service state is changeable via TL1 commands. The operator can set the desired mode
for operation: IS or OOS. In this case the current availability is expressed in the
secondary state which is controlled and changed automatically by the system.

Service-affecting
Refers to a condition affecting the service at the time it is detected.

Standby pack
The protection pack is up-to-date with the provisioning information of the active pack
and ready to take over operation with minimum service interruption. Its operational state
is STBY. As long as this state is not left the protection pack will be kept up-to-date with
the provisioning information.

Status condition
Report of a type of standing condition that reflects abnormal conditions or other
anomalies that are not assigned a severity. Status conditions are necessary to indicate to
the EMS or the operator that the system is in an unusual state, or is performing an

action that may interfere with system operations, such as loop-back, software
installation, or a forced or inhibited protection switch. A status condition is reported via
a report-event TL1 message or an SNMP trap. Two kinds of status conditions are
supported: Set/clear status conditions, which are active as long as the abnormal condition
persists, and transient status conditions, which indicate a single abnormal event which is
already cleared again.

STP
Spanning tree protocol.

Subscriber

for example it starts with a message from the LE to the AnyMedia ® Access System to
seize a given subscriber and to supply ringing current.

Test session
A test session is the procedure including all necessary functions to test a subscriber. This
includes the setup of the test path as well as the release of the test equipment. The test
session runs in the AnyMedia ® Access System.

Unavailability
In general, steady-state unavailability is defined as the fraction of time that the system is
not available, or equivalently as the average downtime per year. Unavailability is often
expressed in minutes per year of downtime. In engineering applications, unavailability is
frequently expressed in terms of its complement, that is the availability. For a digital
channel, unavailability or downtime begins when the first 10 consecutive severely error
seconds (SESs) occur, and it ends when the first of 10 consecutive non-SESs occur.
